Founders Memorial Hall

Founders Memorial HallDue to the growth of the music department, private lessons and equipment, plans for a music hall were completed in 1938. In August 1941, the original plans were revamped and a much larger building was approved. The building was completed in 1942 and was named Founders Memorial Building in honor of the B. P. Lugibihl, D. Y. Schultz, J. E. Ramseyer, William Egle, Henry Roth and David Roth who, through a cooperative vision and effort, became the co-founders of the Fort Wayne Bible Institute.

Today, Founders Memorial Hall houses the music department and the Community School of the Arts that includes: 18 practice rooms, five studios, two large classrooms-rehearsal rooms, and computer, electronic music labs and piano labs. The building also holds a chapel/auditorium that seats over 400, a multipurpose room and a reception/meeting room in the lower level.
